Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee challenging Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, in a fundraising email. Jackson was selected at the state party’s nominating convention after Graham Platner withdrew from the race.
Harris endorsed Jackson in a fundraising email, saying he would have 101 days between his nomination and Election Day. Jackson, a former state senator, was selected as the Democratic Senate nominee at the Maine Democratic Party’s nominating convention after Platner withdrew from the race earlier this month. The article says the general election is scheduled for Nov. 3.
Jackson is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Collins’ campaign spokeswoman said Harris “knows exactly what he’s going through,” while the National Republican Senatorial Committee criticized the selection as bypassing primary voters.

10 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Kamala Harris endorsed Troy Jackson for Maine’s U.S. Senate race after Maine Democrats selected him to replace Graham Platner. Harris urged Democrats to support Jackson in a fundraising email. Left-leaning outlets describe the endorsement in restrained terms and connect the race to Democrats’ effort to regain Senate control. Center outlets take a similarly descriptive approach, also discussing campaign fundraising and the race’s Senate-control stakes. Right-leaning outlets likewise use factual, attributed language, with Fox News emphasizing Jackson’s selection after Platner withdrew and including Republican-aligned sources.
